OACC Networking Events
Connect. Be Seen. Grow Your Business.
The Oroville Area Chamber of Commerce hosts two monthly networking events designed to connect local professionals while strategically spotlighting Chamber Member businesses.
Whether you’re looking to attend an event or host and gain visibility, our networking program is built to create meaningful connections and measurable exposure.
What Happens When You Host
Turn One Morning or Lunch Into Strategic Business Exposure
Hosting a Chamber networking event positions your business directly in front of 20–40 local professionals in a structured, welcoming environment.
This is more than providing space and refreshments — it’s a coordinated marketing opportunity supported by the Chamber.
When You Host, the Chamber Handles:
• Email marketing to Board Members, Chamber Members, Elected Officials, and the General Public
• Multi-post social media promotion
• RSVP registration management
• Event facilitation and flow
• On-site signage and host spotlight
• Post-event Host Impact Report with attendance and marketing metrics
What Hosts Receive:
• Dedicated spotlight time to present your business
• Opportunity to promote programs, services, or upcoming events
• Photo and video content shared on Chamber platforms
• Direct access to attendee networking
• Business contacts collected at the event
Our 2026 networking program has already generated:
• 4,000+ social media reach
• Cross-industry participation
• Direct referrals and speaking invitations
• Ongoing host sign-ups
Hosting isn’t just networking — it’s structured visibility backed by promotion.
